Although we lost the legendary American icon in 1998, he is still loved by children of all ages.
In addition to his positive influence on American culture, Roy, known as the ‘King of the Cowboys’, also had a very successful career in country music, with hits like ‘My Chickashay Gal’ in 1947 and ’The Yellow Rose of Texas.’

Roy was a founding member of the Western group the Sons of the Pioneers, who had hits like ‘Tumbling Tumbleweeds’ and ‘Cool Water.’ His impact on country and Western music made Roy Rogers the only person elected twice to the Country Music Hall of Fame — first, as a member of the Sons of the Pioneers in 1980 and then as a solo artist in 1988. In honor of this great American Western hero, Taste of Country visited with his son, Dusty ‘Roy’ Rogers Jr.
Today we’re celebrating what would have been your father’s 100th birthday. Isn’t that just an amazing thing looking back?It really is. I don’t know where the time went. It’s an amazing thing, it’s just been wonderful; people come into the show [Dusty's tribute show in Branson] and say how much they loved dad when they were kids, and I think back to all the things dad did. He lived to be 86-years-old, and my God, the man was in show business since he was 18 or 19-years-old, so it’s an amazing thing.
